Well,
How many of our upstreams are Tuomov-like ? Why do you think that we'll integrate Tuomov-like upstreams as DM ? I'm sorry but a large majority of our upstream are sane and if I can get them more involved in Debian, I'm all for it. I've been defending those ideas for years. In my campaign in 2002, I explained that I would have liked some document specifically written for upstreams in order to have better interaction and more involvement from them. http://www.debian.org/vote/2002/platforms/raphael#message You have the right to disagree with the various use cases. That's precisely why we have a vote. I still believe that we're doing a step in the right direction with this. > Having people in DM for 10 uploads a year is a _huge_ overkill. Most DD do that many uploads a year. What about DD being overkill in that case ? :-) > FWIW that's the number of packages I upload in a day when I'm doing QA > work e.g..

Well, for the record, I haven't appreciated Loïc's rhetorical questions. But he clearly signed "rhetorical" and only Joss felt the need to fell in the trap of replying.
